Ok, I am completely stumped here. I just installed the the K&N intake. Everything seemed to go pretty smooth. Sensor was a pain to get out but it came out and I don't think I damaged it.

Anyways, I got the code P0013....when I searched it, it says this....




Description:

How does a P0013 code trigger the check engine light? This code will trigger the check engine light under the following condition:

The comprehensive component monitor, referred to as the CCM, monitors the Variable Camshaft Timing (VCT) circuit to the computer for high and low voltages. If the voltage falls below a set limit for a specific amount of time during this test, the check engine light will come on and set this trouble code.
Possible Causes:

Open or short in the VCT circuit
Open in the Vehicle Power circuit
Open or short in the VCT solenoid valve itself
Damaged computer (PCM)

Diagnostic Help:

This check engine light code is caused by a circuit fault of the VCT system. Testing should include all related wiring circuits, the VCT solenoid and PCM itself. Please refer to out article on Automotive Circuit Testing for help with this. You may also use the "Get Help" link if you need specifications or have any other related questions. Remember to refer to an appropriate manual for specific instructions.

ANY HELP PLEASE. Vehicle has 1400 miles on it.

 

only thing i can think of is that it should have been maybe
P0113 - Intake Air Temperature Sensor Circuit High

Would that make sense? and it was a misread on the readout?

Then I could just reset the ecu...i.e. disconnect the battery and it should go away right?

 

Did you have the key on while you were working? Or did you find the IAT unplugged after you turned the key on or started the Jeep?


+1 clear codes, retest for codes.

 

From the past few cars i put intakes in (ranger/Ram/Evo VIII) I never disconnected the battery...and never had any issues.

Yesterday I did have the key in while doing everything and had the radio on while installing it. So I did remove the IAT and then reconnect it while the key was in the ignition playing the radio.

I guess best to remove the negative terminal and let it sit for a 1/2 hour or so when I get home? I don't have any issues when driving...except that bloody squealing lol.

Just worried because the one that is P0013 doesn't seem to make sense....and I didn't think i damaged anything.

 

ok just double checked...it was P0113...meaning the air sensor...which I HOPE that disconnecting the negative terminal for a bit will erase it...

 

I actually am having a similar issue and I did accidentally start the jeep with the IAT unplugged. I have reset the codes and my codes are still returning. I realize this is old, but am hoping to get a response. TIA!

I've started mine numerous times with the IAT intentionally unplugged (testing purposes) and had no lasting codes. I know that doesn't solve your problem, but just letting you know my experience.

 

Thanks to youtube I found the problem this morning. One of the connectors that plugs into one of the the oil cooler sensors had the insulation deteriorating (pulled away) from the wire. The bare wires were exposed and two were touching. Same exact problem on a camshaft position sensor on this same vehicle. I should least to start flipping the connectors over and examine the wires.
